Footprints: An interactive public art map
Kelley Crawford, Steven Melendez, and Emma Fick worked together to create a custom interactive public art map for New Orleans. This project was made possible through a grant provided by EPNO (Emerging Philanthropists of New Orleans)! Take a walk and click away!
Punishment and redemption: Coerced sterilization behind bars
Some inmates in U.S. prisons are being forced to choose between a lighter sentence and their reproductive freedom. Reports show accounts of hundreds of prisoners receiving sterilization procedures without proper consent, many of which were offered a lighter sentence in exchange. This calls into question the legality of these procedures, and whether they violate the constitutional right to reproductive autonomy. Writers Harper Elmslie and Natalie Brunson look into the coercion taking place behind bars, as part of Betsy Weiss's "Punishment and Redemption" course taught at Tulane University.
